CHAPTER 4 — The Moment Everything Changed

Charlotte's bag fell onto the marble.
The contents spilled everywhere.
A small golden card slid across the floor.
Nobody noticed.
Except one person.
The hotel manager.
Daniel Brooks.
He froze.
Because he recognized that card.
It wasn't a normal keycard.
It was the highest security access card in the entire Solmere organization.
Only one person owned it.
Charlotte Vale.
Daniel slowly walked forward.
"Wait..."
Everyone looked at him.
Vivienne smiled.
"Finally. Someone is removing her."
But Daniel wasn't looking at Charlotte like a stranger.
He was looking at her with fear.
"Miss Vale?"
Silence.
The entire lobby stopped breathing.

Charlotte slowly stood.
Vivienne's smile disappeared.
